Sunview Windows and Doors Tip on Patio Door Ideas and Options

We strive to be your local experts when it comes to windows and doors. We also want to share our passion for our products with you too, so now we have a Sunview blog to do just that!

In this article, you will learn about new options and patio door ideas for attractive, functional doors.

Patio Doors

Your outdoor living space is an extension of your home, and that is why you’ll want to consider a variety of options and patio door ideas before finalizing your project.

One of the most common patio door options is the French patio door. This style incorporates glass window panes in the door, allowing an unobstructed view from the home’s interior to the outside space and vice versa. It can create a natural transition from the inside to the patio. French patio doors are usually available in wood, fibreglass and PVC, and they can be configured as either swinging or sliding doors.

Sliding Patio Doors

Whereas French patio doors are a more traditional approach, contemporary sliding doors have a more modern look. These doors offer greater simplicity in that they create no obstacles at all to furniture placement, inside or out. Patios are generally gathering places for family and friends, and when lots of people are involved, a traditionally open and close door can be a hindrance to entering and exiting. Just ask anyone who’s tried to carry a tray of appetizers through a traditional door while a gaggle of toddlers is racing in or out. For this reason, and because they can add a modern, elegant design element to connect your outdoor and indoor space, sliding patio doors are a popular option.

In the past, sliding patio doors were heavier and had a reputation for getting stuck in their tracks or misaligned. Modern sliding patio doors generally offer a much slimmer, more contemporary look, and the problems of sticking and misalignment have been lessened. Because of the lighter materials, these new designs generally offer a larger, less obstructed viewing area as well.

Folding Patio Door

Designed with three or more panels, these doors fold upon opening and slide on a track, similar to sliding doors. Folding patio doors can create a unique visual aesthetic and are often a good fit for more modern patio designs.

Whatever option you prefer the look of, you need to ensure that it will work for your home and your family… that's where we come in! The Sunview Windows and Doors team are skilled professionals. Our goal is to provide the best possible experience from beginning to end!

101 Door & Window Project Showcase

2016 Hospital Home Lottery Home

2016 Grand Prize Show Home at 422 Greenbyre Lane

This Prairie Contemporary Styled Home with a Mid Century Modern Interior included over 3,700 sq ft of developed living space.

101 Doors & Windows supplied exterior and interior windows, doors, mouldings, hardware, and locks. Interior doors were semi-custom 7’ high as opposed to standard 6’8 or 8’. All done in rift-cut white oak doors with opposing directional veneer patterns.

2017 Hospital Home Lottery Home

This door request was brought to the 101 Doors & Windows team by the designer with just a picture that she had. This is not a production door that anyone makes, so they had one of our suppliers draw it up and build it.

The door came out beautifully exactly as requested on time and on budget. 101 also provided all of the hardware and trims in this spectacular home.

2018 Hospital Home Lottery Home

101 worked on this third lottery home for a local home builder, the third in three years. They were looking for something simple, sleek, and ultra-contemporary so 101 made this door just a single vertical line and it looks fantastic with the Barcelona oil rubbed bronze knobs in this mid-century designed Saskatoon lottery home.

10' x 8' custom Master Suite Door

The 101 Doors & Windows team built a unique door in this master bedroom separating bath and bedroom areas. It was a very challenging and heavy door, 10' x 8' powder-coated metal all on one rolling track so there is no obstruction on the floor. It turned about amazingly well!

For this client, they also replaced windows the overhead garage door, and a front entry door pre-finished with auto body quality paint finish. We think you will agree that the curb appeal is on point!
